⑰ To the future → Is it everything you've dreamed? Is it horrible? Whatever happens, you're here to witness what happens to you in the future. Either you take the place of your future self or you're just there to watch. Might cause some confusion if people start seeing double though...
⑱ Angels, mermaids, and fairies! → You're not necessary something dark or evil. You're just something different. How do you deal?

⑱ Boss → One of you works under the other. Is your relationship good? Are you scheming things? Or do you hate each other?
⑲ Perfect crime → You and the other person have just pulled off the perfect crime... or you're planning to! What are you doing? The heist of the century, an assassination?

⑨ Last time → This is the last time you're going to this because you're breaking up or maybe your lover is running off to sacrifice their lives in some heroic way. The possibilities are endless, but you better make this one count.
⑩ No strings attached → You're just friends with benefits. Nothing wrong with that, right?

but i’m at the start of okumaru’s palace! no worries if you have to spoil anything either, i’m not too fussed since the game’s been out a while.]
Mixing together a little of shipping 5, 8, and 13, with a benign version of gen 14?
[ The first: A wide shot of the crepe shop on Central Street in Shibuya.
[ The second: Closer on the shop, angling up towards the big menu board behind the counter. There's a sign slapped over one of the pictures decorating the board. The camera's just far enough from the sign that it's difficult to make out the text, but the sign itself is painted in bright, eye-catching colors, and designed with a spiky border -- like a speech bubble in a manga where the character talking is supposed to be yelling.
[ The third: Closer still, but angled up a little further and with that sign dead center in the frame. This close, there's no mistaking the words written on the sign, but do you dare believe them, Ann?
Two for one.
Any deluxe crepe.
[ Fourth and final: Two plates, sitting on the countertop, offering some concrete proof that the legends are true. ]
1/2
She wonders briefly if it’s Phantom Thief business, or else Ryuji getting stuck somewhere like a dummy, or Makoto reminding them about a quiz that Ann had definitely not studied for, but then she discovers it’s none of the above. Instead: a story in pictures, with the final one making her eyes go wide.
No way!
She begins furiously typing.]
no subject
2 for 1??
That’s such a good deal! I’ve been waiting for this!
Oh, but I told you… I can’t! I’m supposed to be watching what I eat for this swimsuit shoot in a couple of weeks 😞 This is so cruel, Ren…
no subject
Ah.
[ She had said something about that, hadn't she ... ]
Cheat day?
[ Maybe not the most helpful suggestion in the world, but one self-indulgent meal a couple weeks out isn't going to derail her if she's careful the rest of the lead-up, right ...? ]
no subject
Hmmmmm…]
Well…
I guess one wouldn’t hurt. It’s your treat, right?
And if I can’t fit into my bikini, you’re taking the fall for it!
[A few seconds later:]
I’m on my way!
no subject
[ Also, he may have already bought and paid for the two in that last picture, so really she's saving him from himself a little bit here. ]
When you get here, I'm sitting on the little stone wall across the street.
no subject
Be there soon!
[It doesn’t take her long to get to Shibuya, and she’s… huh. Running, and skidding to a stop in front of him before doubling over, her hands on her knees.
It was so much easier to run in Mementos, and she was in heels when they were there.
Before he speaks, she puts a finger up in the universal “one second” gesture, still holding her knees.]
If I… [huff] jogged here… I can eat as many crepes… [huff huff] as I want.
[Flawfree Ann logic.]
no subject
[ He waits patiently for Ann to catch her breath, sitting perched on his spot on the wall, a plate in each hand and a pleasant smile on his face until she speaks, which ... ]
Makes sense to me.
[ ... it doesn't, really, but he's going to let her have this one. No sense in guilting her on her cheat day, right? ]
What are you feeling?
[ He holds out both plates to Ann ... but he does extend the nutella and banana crepe ever so slightly ahead of the nutella and strawberry one.
[ Is he hoping to keep that one for himself ...?
[ Yes.
[ Is he going to be overly bothered if she picks that one and he's stuck with the other one ...?
[ Not really, but it seemed worth a try. ]
no subject
She's got her eye on the prize (strawberries).]
The strawberry one? [...] Please? [If she's going to cheat, she will indulge in her strawberry-based dreams.
After a moment though, perhaps remembering that he's paying, she adds:] Unless you wanted it. Banana's fine too. [Ann is nothing if not thoughtful.] I'm happy to have any sweets at all... [She sighs and unfolds herself from her crouched position, having caught her breath at last.] Getting ready for photoshoots, [she announces, with uncharacteristic somberness] totally sucks.
[Words of wisdom from Ann Takamaki.]
no subject
[ Once Ann confirms her preference, Ren holds out the strawberry crepe without any kind of hesitation. He would have even without the puppy dog eyes. Considering that she's the one trying to watch her calories, it seems only fair that she gets the one she actually wants for her cheat. Besides, he's not going to be unhappy with the banana one -- he wouldn't have bought it if he straight up didn't want it.
[ And, y'know, if the craving for strawberry survives the banana crepe, he can always just walk over and buy another. He's not on a diet.
[ He can't help but chuckle at the blunt summary of how much prepping for a big shoot sucks, though. ]
I can imagine.
[ He's laughing, but his smile is still very clearly sympathetic. He knows how much passion she has, but considering her sweet tooth? It's gotta be borderline torturous. ]
Getting it done anyway, though? Takes a strong heart.
[ A little bit of friendly teasing there, but he does mean it as a genuine compliment too. Seeing that drive Ann has get harnessed into something she really cares about? Something that makes her legitimately happy?
[ That makes him happy. ]
no subject
Mm?
[When she looks up to see him smiling, she goes red, dabbing at her mouth with a napkin.
After she's finished chewing...]
Aw, thanks Ren! [...] I wouldn't have been able to build my confidence back without you, though. You've helped me out so much.
... Hey, have you thought about what you want to do yet? After we're done with school, I mean.
(no subject)
hmm... gen 16+1 mashup?
pancakecrepe.He's at the counter, and has just placed his order when he feels eyes on him and glances up. It's Takamaki, Phantom Thief number—two? three? The one with the very obvious blonde pigtails and the whip, anyway.
They've met a couple of times, but barely spoken; he offers her a little smile and a tiny wave, from the counter. It's friendly, and it's not. They'll both know it's not.]
Re: hmm... gen 16+1 mashup?
Now that she’s here and he’s spotted her, it would be suspicious to leave and strange to sit at a table. She climbs on the stool beside him after a brief internal debate, her backpack hanging off one shoulder.]
Akechi-san, [She says by way of greeting, her tone blandly pleasant.] I didn’t expect to see you here. [This much is very true.] I drop by here all the time after school.
no subject
Takamaki-san. [It's not bland, the way he acknowledges her; he sounds warm and amused, trying to put her at her ease.] I'm not in your way, I hope? If I'd known this was your territory, I might have gone somewhere else.
I say might have. I don't know if I could hold up my head if I let you chase me out. [Look, he's genuinely nice and everything. Not even a bit slimy. Not at all the guy who as good as accused her to her face of being a Phantom Thief on Sunday. Except his polish is itself suspicious, if you know he's hiding something.]
no subject
She turns her head a little bit to hide it, her gaze split between him and the menu. Kamoshida had been a worthless creep, but if he'd taught her anything, it was the value of not blowing up at the slightest provocation. A beat, two, and she raises her hands in a conciliatory gesture, her smile sheepish, and hopefully not forced.] Oh, don't worry about it, aha! It's not like I own it, or anything like that!
[Whew. She's maybe laying it on a little thick, but she thinks being pleasant will be a better tactic than the alternative. He's being nice, even warm, but she is past the point of being fooled by politeness. Instead of jumping on his bait, she changes the subject.] Besides, I'm not the one you should worry about, am I? You're pretty popular. Don't you get concerned about your fans seeing you?
no subject
Haha. I could ask you the same—you're a model, aren't you? Of course I have trouble from time to time, but they mean well—[in other words, fame is one of his most favourite things, right next to murder, but his actual fans can all drown in Tokyo Bay.]—and it would be churlish of me to be ungrateful. Especially since the likelihood is it won't last too long.
[This is when his crepe arrives. He thanks the assistant with a smile, and takes a look at it—whipped cream and custard, prettily glazed fruit and some little squares of cake, all arranged inside a folded pancake. He glances back to her.] I can only hope they restrain themselves until I've finished this. Do you have a regular order, or are you more the rebellious type?
no subject
[His star outshone hers in other words, though she doesn’t sound bitter about it at all. It’s a rare bit of forthrightness about her ongoing career, perhaps in exchange for what she perceives to be his own.
… So weird, having a conversation with Akechi, of all people. A civil one, anyway. Ryuji was going to flip. Talking shop’s an easy thing, with little emotion involved to get riled up about. It’s not school related and not… well. Not heart-stealing related, and she rarely has the opportunity to do it with the other Phantom Thieves, either. It feels strange and boastful to bring it up around them, when truthfully, she’s anything but about the work.
Her gaze flicks over to his crepe, her eyebrows lifting. She thought he’d be pretty restrained, but this looks like something she’d order.] Oh! That one’s one of my favorites. I’ve got a few I rotate through. Strawberries and cream is good too. There’s angel food cake inside, and a condensed milk drizzle…
[She’s fantasizing about crepes, give her a second.]
no subject
He's turned the plate this way and that, listening with half an ear and structuring the conversation in his head; he pulls out his phone and takes a carefully-framed photo, before looking back to her as he puts his phone away. There's an odd twinkle in his eye: yes, I post photos of my food, it's more interesting than eating it—celebrity needs feeding, plus he likes the notifications, the little stream of attention through the day, while nobody is texting him. He seems, right now, like the sort of person who would post all those fake-cheerful photos on his blog.]
There. Yes, the drizzles. The condensed milk one always makes me feel a little young—though I suppose, looking at this, I've lost that battle already. There's an invitation-only place in Ginza that makes their own coffee drizzle for their tiramisu crepe. [In other words, yes, he goes to invitation-only places.] Most places use chocolate, and off-the-shelf at that, which is—I'm sorry, I'm boring you.
[He almost wishes someone would take a picture of the two of them. It would blow Ren's mind. Or maybe it wouldn't—who knows what he's thinking, from one day to the next? Well, Akechi has a feeling Takamaki might know....]
no subject
Other than information, that was. This is the part that makes her uneasy. Keeps her from getting too comfortable, even as she plans to settle into what she thinks will be an odd sort of hanging out. She orders in the lull between their discussion, and something about how he words things rankles her. Reminds her a little of Mika, actually; there's something not quite mean-spirited in it but still off. Bragging, almost.
Having been a great many places, and often in situations where she was out of her depth, she's found some value in keeping information to herself. Her mixed-race lineage being known was in itself a hindrance. She'd become withdrawn in bits and pieces after that. And in her worst months stuck with Kamoshida's perversions, had learned a great deal about flattery to avoid giving out too much detail when he requested (and later demanded).
Akechi's not that bad, she thinks. Not so bad as Kamoshida. Obviously a pretty smart guy, and he's popular, right? He hasn't done anything wrong yet, other than being a snoop. Which she had to begrudgingly admit, was technically his job. But flattery went a long way even with nice guys. Lots of them just liked to talk about themselves.]
No, it's not boring! It's pretty cool that you get to go places like that. [Her smile comes a little easier now.] It must be because you've done a lot of work for police, huh? Do you ever meet other celebrities there?
no subject
His smile is fainter, a little more rueful.] Sorry. Everyone's a little sensitive about their work, aren't they? Especially when they have more reason than most. [Because the more he feels Takamaki's eyes skip to him—a glance here, a sideeye there—and the more she keeps her attention half-on him, the more she's obviously thinking about her situation, the more he's reframing her in his mind. She's smart enough to know Akechi isn't interested in the pleasure of her company, and to wonder what he's trying to get from her—well, perhaps her history explains that. If she feels unappreciated in her time, Akechi can work with that, and will.]
You asked if I meet other celebrities. ["bragging" was exactly right; he likes to show off, and it's obvious as hell—if you aren't charmed by him.] Aren't I meeting one now, here? [He gestures to her, not actually pointing his crepe fork her way. He had help to get into the public eye, of course—and far more than he realises, not all from human agency—but he won't share that with her.] I've seen your pictures. I was just lucky, you know, that the Phantom Thieves showed up during my five minutes of fame. [And there it is. He looks her right in the eye, and his charming ways recede into something more intense, a sunbeam fading into shadow—but then it passes, as if that's not why he's talking to her at all.
Again, he looks down at his crepe, picking a bit from it with his fork. He's barely touched it, as if he was more interested in photographing it than eating it. And perhaps that sunbeam didn't entirely return—he seems rather more thoughtful, and more assessing; more the detective, and less the airheaded celebrity.] If you ask me, you work harder than I do. I've done one photoshoot, and I never want to do another. [Yeah, he does.]
